Is Al Davis back from the dead?!

The Oakland Raiders will sign Jon Gruden to the longest coaching deal in NFL history -- a 10-year deal likely approaching $100 million -- when it is made official Tuesday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.

Is Al Davis back from the dead?!

Clearly not or Gruden would not be Raider HC

All I can say is that's a lot of time and money for a guy who hasn't coached in over a decade.

And for a guy who wasn't anything special when he did coach.

95-81 in 11 seasons as a head coach. Only 4 ten win seasons. Hasn't won a playoff game since Super Bowl 37.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about it. I hope for the sake of the franchise that it works out. I like Gruden but there are definitely some question marks as to how effective he will be.
